After the overwhelming demand for the Frankenstein kit, Aurora rushed to release the Dracula kit the next year. This kit creates a chilling mood by contrasting the elegance and style of the Count against the creepy swamp "set" of the base. The likeness of Bela Lugosi is excellent, as are the crowning touches like the gnarled tree and Dracula's gold medallion and jeweled ring.  

As a kid, I remember being too scared to build this kit with the glow parts (wuss!). But even when built entirely in the black plastic, I still trembled at night when I thought I could feel him watching from across the room. He often spent the night in the closet, out of the mind's eye!
